About Skya Livingston

As a Nationally Certified Massage Therapist and Registered Yoga Teacher, my goal is to provide clients and students with a nurturing experience that effectively stimulates their body’s healing process and self-awareness. Having personally experienced the effectiveness of natural therapies in healing my own injuries, minimizing my scoliosis, and improving my overall well-being, I am eager to help others uncover this healing in themselves. I find great satisfaction in helping people to address injuries old and new, chronic pain, digestive disorders, headaches, vertigo & dizziness, and a host of other ailments as well as the psycho-somatic issues which may lie underneath.

I’ve been fascinated with the human body since childhood and have followed this passion through training in dance, martial arts, cycling, yoga and other movement modalities. The first half of my adult life was spent as an international guide for the active travel company, Backroads. I integrate these experiences into my approach to bodywork. Since my initial Swedish Massage Certification in 2001, I have continued to hone my skills and explore a variety of techniques with masterful teachers, providing me with a well-rounded toolbox. This includes training in: Shiatsu/Acupressure, CranioSacral Therapy, Medical Massage and Body Somatics (deep tissue work based on the structural integration theories of Ida Rolf.). I am currently delving into the study of Lymph Drainage Therapy and have dabbled in both Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Sessions typically integrate all of these modalities in order to best suit your individual needs. I am also specially certified in Pre-/Peri-natal Massage with special interest in postpartum care (please see separate page). I am known by my clients for my listening and observation abilities, carefully tuning in to their bodies and energy as well as their words. Clients comment that I am “a talented and highly skilled therapist,” "genuinely interested in satisfying each client’s massage and wellness needs.” To read more about what clients have to say, click below.

I look forward to meeting and working with you, and guiding you on your path to well-being.
